The main thing I love about Flamini is that he knows his role and sticks by it. You won’t see him caught out of position or upfield, he positions himself to do the dirty work and has been doing it very effectively.

From a personal point of view, he deserves the attention for the way he has played. While the likes of Cazorla and Ozil can no doubt be match winners, you can’t help but feel that Flamini will be instrumental in games where Arsenal need to grind-out their victories.

Hopefully, knowing in the back of his mind that a trip to the World Cup may be on the cards will motivate him to perform in every match and push for that extra level!
